“Hanging isn’t a very sanitized form of capital punishment, we’re you outraged when Saddam was hung?”

It is compared to stoning, even if done wrong, it is more humane than stoning. You should move to Iran if you value marriage more than life, and think death by torture is acceptable. One thing is for certain. You don’t belong in any civilized country. BTW there is no apostrophe in were.

Again: Would you be outraged if Saddam Hussein was stoned???

Capital punishment whether it’s stoning, hanging, electrocution, or lethal injection is not torture. It may cause pain but that's not the primary reason capital punishment is enforced. The primary reason is to put to death the criminal. Nice try but the issue is not whether someone values life more than marriage. You can value both. The issues are what is valued in a soceity, what crimes constitutes a capital offense and why?

Laws reflect and punishments for breaking those laws tell you what is valued in a soceity. Why shouldn't adultery be a capital offense? Is adultery even wrong to you? Try not to name call when you answer the questions. I'm just asking. I don't think anybody, outside of being a Christian, can give me a sound reason why adultery should not be a capital offense.
